Hectic schedules and busy workdays can contribute to dull, tired skin due to lack of much-needed TLC. If the chances of you fitting in a quick trip to the spa for a facial seem slim, consider these fast and easy face masks that act as an instant skin-pick-me-up and provide spa-worthy results in five minutes.
The Caudalie Instant Detox Mask (US $39; AED/SAR 143) combines grape marc and pink clay to deep cleanse the pores. While the clock is ticking, use La Prairie’s Cellular 3-Minute Peel (US $237; AED/SAR 869), which is infused with AHA’s and BHA, to provide a 3-minute peeling treatment that aims to smooth and re-texturize the skin. The Natura Bisse Oxygen Finishing Mask (US $45; AED/SAR 166) infuses the skin with oxygen to refresh and rejuvenate a dull complexion. The Lancôme Hydra-Intense Masque (US $35; AED/SAR 129) is a 5-minute moisturizing facial in a bottle that replenishes hydration, so skin appears instantly smooth. Or, try La Mer’s Lifting and Firming Mask (US $245; AED/SAR 900), which comes with a mini brush to sweep antioxidants over a clean face and décolleté for visibly tighter and firm skin in eight minutes.
